Chapter 64
Ouyang Ji was obviously not interested in these silk handkerchiefs embroidered with orchid patterns, she had seen a lot of orchid patterns, and she often embroidered them herself, so after a glance, she picked up the two silk handkerchiefs embroidered with raspberries.
Although she was born and raised in the capital, she also accompanied her parents in her hometown for more than two years after her grandfather was gone, and she was six or seven years old at that time.
Xiaoqing on the side reminded her, saying that this thing is called raspberry, and the local language is called bubble fruit, sweet and sour.
"Miss was once pricked in the hand for picking this, and the maid was punished by Mrs. to kneel." Xiaoqing pouted.
These words evoked Ouyang Ji's memories, and she seemed to have such a thing in her impression, so after smiling, she ordered Xiaoqing to wrap these two silk handkerchiefs.
"Miss, this is also good-looking, it's the first time I've seen someone embroider it, this sister of the Zeng family must have grown up from the countryside, otherwise she wouldn't have embroidered these things." Xiaoqing saw that the young lady didn't blame her, and pointed to the one embroidered with wild chrysanthemums.
"Let's go." Ouyang Ji also smiled slightly, and suddenly, she thought of something, and turned to the shopkeeper, "Can you bother the shopkeeper to call that great-sister to see her, I want to customize a few things for her." ”
"Absolutely." After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he glanced at the maid beside him, and the maid turned around and went out, and brought Zeng Rong after a while.
Knowing that Ouyang Ji was looking for her to order a few silk handkerchiefs, purses and sachets, there were no special requirements for the patterns, as long as it was a chic and fun little wild fruit, small wild flower or small animal, Zeng Rong hurriedly agreed.
She really didn't expect that she would make a boudoir lady so quickly, although a lot of the factors in this are because of the relationship between fellow villagers, but so what, she took the first step, and most importantly, she can finally stop embroidering silk handkerchiefs and make purse sachets instead.
After sending Ouyang Ji away, Yu Yunqing looked at Zeng Rong deeply, but didn't say anything else, only told her to find someone to get the materials, and told her to do it well.
Seeing this, Zeng Rong responded to her more and more respectfully.
After returning to the backyard, Zeng Rong did not rush to pick up the materials, but continued to have the silk handkerchief at hand, and it was not until dinner time that she finished the work at hand, and then went to find Granny Chang in the warehouse to collect the materials.
After coming back, she counted the silk handkerchiefs she had embroidered in the past two days, handed them to Amei, and then began to draw the style of the purse, Amei saw her holding scissors and cloth ready to cut, and then learned that she was going to embroider the purse and sachet, and couldn't help but be very curious, and at the same time a little lost.
Because Zeng Rong was the youngest and the latest, he didn't expect to embroider his purse one step ahead of them, which shows that Zeng Rong's embroidery skills are stronger than several of them.
"Don't be like this, I'm lucky, I met a fellow villager of mine, and people ordered a few purses to take care of me." Zeng Rong explained.
"That's right, those boudoir ladies' purses are generally made by themselves, and the purses they buy are also used as rewards to give away." Sakura said.
"It doesn't matter if she gives her a reward or keeps it for herself, in short, Ah Rong doesn't need to embroider silk handkerchiefs anymore." Ah Tao said while helping Zeng Rong clean up the things on the case.
"Maybe people aren't satisfied with my things, and I'll have to continue embroidering silk handkerchiefs in the future." Zeng Rong didn't dare to say it full.
"Okay, let's do things, don't affect others." Amei stopped talking.
Ah Tao Chong Zeng Rong made a strange face, but sat down honestly.
Zeng Rong cut the purse and began to draw embroidery samples on it, this time she painted a cluster of honeysuckle, the reason why she thought of embroidering it, because she didn't pick it less when she went up the mountain to collect medicine in those two months, she estimated that no one would embroider this kind of medicinal flower, but this does not mean that it is not good-looking, very elegant.
Sure enough, as soon as Zeng Rong drew this pattern, Ah Mei surrounded her again, asking what kind of flower it was, why she embroidered a medicinal flower.
"What are so many why, I just embroider if I like it, Miss Ouyang said, don't want those common peonies, plum blossoms, orchids or anything, want to be chic, I think no one should embroider this kind of flower, it's chic enough, right?" Zeng Rong replied.
"It's chic enough, but are you sure someone would want to carry a herb on their body?" Tao asked.
"This?" Zeng Rong didn't expect this for a while.
"What's this, maybe that Miss Ouyang likes these things, didn't she just fall in love with Ah Rong's raspberry before?" Ame said.
But how does that sound a little wrong?
It's just that the pattern has already been drawn, and Zeng Rong doesn't want to bother revising it anymore.
Of course, the more reason is that she thinks that this flower is really not ugly, clear and elegant, no worse than those plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemums.
Because this is the first purse Zeng Rong made, in order to give everyone a good impression, Zeng Rong took out twelve points of care, from the style of the purse, the matching of patterns and colors, etc., therefore, this purse took a whole day.
Fortunately, when she sent the sample to Yu Yunqing, Yu Yunqing rarely gave her a smile, mainly because the style of this purse made by Zeng Rong is very chic, different from the general square, fan or round, it is a gourd-shaped, although the flowers embroidered on it are not very rich and graceful, but they are also clean and elegant, in short, she likes it at once.
"The style is good, the color matching is also coordinated, that is, this pattern can also be considered more, not the same is not confined to what flowers, you can properly consider fish, butterflies, dragonflies and other small animals." Yu Yunqing made a very pertinent suggestion.
"In the end, it's a senior, and I can see my shortcomings at once." Zeng Rong accepted it very sincerely.
In the end, Yu Yunqing set a price for Zeng Rong's purse, and the price was 100 wen, and she didn't know the selling price.
Zeng Rongmo calculated, this purse is indeed more cost-effective than embroidered silk handkerchief, and if it is done well, she should have no problem with one a day.
In addition to koi, bats, butterflies, dragonflies and other things, she can also embroider grasshoppers, cicadas, gnats, etc.
The last time she went to Chaohua Temple, she saw many people selling this kind of straw weaving small animals outside the mountain gate, and there were many people who bought them, indicating that there were many people who liked it.
What Zeng Rong didn't know was that the shopkeeper put the purse she made on the display cabinet the next day, and someone really fell in love with it again.
Later, seeing Zeng Rong's embroidered purses with patterns such as grasshoppers, grasshoppers and cicadas, Yu Yunqing gave Zeng Rong an idea and asked her to embroider some purses suitable for men, and the colors were blue, purple, brown and gray, because Jinxiufang not only does women's business, but also men's business.
